In 2006 he began working as a radio producer, author and director for radio art/documentaries for the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF, the cultural channel Radio Österreich 1 and the German public broadcasting network WDR focusing on political and (pop-)culture topics.[1] In 2009 he produced the radio documentary "Sold/Verkauft!"[2] about four Uighur men who had been sold as suspected terrorists to the CIA and imprisoned for four years at the prison camp Guantánamo Bay.[3] The radio documentary was published as an audio book in 2011.[4]
Lerch created a three part series of radio programs on illegal drugs: "Crystal Meth. A homemade drug" (produced by the ORF 2007),[5] "Apocalypse Goa" (a co-production of WDR/ORF 2010)[6] and "Viva La Muerte. The drug ballads of northern Mexico" (produced by the WDR/ORF 2012) [7] are documentaries commissioned for broadcast in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.[8]
Lerch is the co-founder of "name>it positive media" and co-editor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup web journal kaptransmissions.org.
Lerch occasionally writes and publishes for newspapers, including Der Standard, Wiener Zeitung and the Russian weekly magazine Ogoniok.[9][10]
In 2014 Lerch is a fellow at the European Journalism Fellowships at the Freie UniversitätBerlin, researching surveillance and control of public urban spaces in Germany and in the United States.[11]
In collaboration with the German theater director Matthias Kapohl Lerch produced in 2015 the first binauralradio feature. Through this recording and production technology the radio documentary "Bi-Normal" enables the listeners to a 3Daudio experience, that is usually used for radio drama and in sounds for movies.[12]
For Austria’s prestigious art museum Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Lerch developed and curated 2019 the multimedia project “six seasons” consisting of an audio podcast and animated videos.[15] Six paintings of the renowned old masters collection of the museum were used by a selection of contemporary writers (a.o. Ann Cotten, Mark von Schlegell, Hanno Millesi) to write fictional short stories, that were transformed into a series of audio dramas.[16] Through fictional storytelling “six seasons” provides a contemporary perception of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, conveying historical artistic intention into new and varied media formats.[17]
Lerch received various awards, including the Award for ORF Journalists,[18] and the Hans Nerth- Radio Scholarship.[19] In the years 2010 and 2011 Christian Lerch was nominated for the CNN Journalist Award [20] and for the Austrian Journalism Prize,[21] the Dr. Karl Renner Prize[22] In the year 2010 he received the second prize of the FEATUREPREIS Award in Basel, Switzerland.[23]
For the documentary #illegaledrogentöten (English title: #illegaldrugskill)[24] the third and final part of the trilogy on the effects of illegal drugs and of the war on drugs Lerch was awarded a Silver Award for the best radio programs 2017 at the New York Festivals 2017-06-24 at the Wayback Machine.[25] With the program "Papa we're in Syria"[26] Lerch followed a father searching and trying to rescue his sons, who had joined the so-called Islamic State/ISIS in Syria 2015. That program won him the prestigious European Media Award Prix Europa for the Best European Radio Documentary 2017.[27]
The jury of the BBC Audio Drama Award selected the podcast "six seasons" as a finalist for Best European Drama 2021.
